  1. UNWANTED FOLDER NAME CHANGE IN WIN10


    My Win10 Desktop Documents shortcut points to D:\Pete. Every so often the folder name changes to Documents with a corresponding change of icon. My wife's account also points to a folder on D: and also suffers the name change which means two folders with the same name and icon when viewed in Windows Explorer. Can this be stopped, please? I have tried a Registry change to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell" with new string FolderType set to NotSpecified. This appears to work for a while but the problem eventually returns.

    :)

  2. name changes??

    If you desire a name change please do the following:

    • Ask yourself if you really need a name change.
    • Make sure you have a good reason.
    • Know what you want your new name to be before you request a name change.
    • Send Urlyin a PM containing a decent explanation of your reason as well as your desired name.

    Hello!

    I've just reinstalled Win10 and created a second account for my wife. Unfortunately, the login names is the mail she's registered to Microsoft.

    How can I change the name.

    I've read an answer to same question suggesting following:

    "

    Follow the steps provided below to change the username and check.

    • Press Windows key + X key.
    • Click on Control Panel.
    • Under view, select large icons.
    • Go to User Account.

    "

    I don't have that option in Win10.

    Thanks for assistance

  4. UNWANTED FOLDER NAME CHANGE IN WIN10

    Unable to change folder name

    Hi,

    It is unusual that the folder name gets changed to "document" automatically during the backup.

    I suggest you to try the steps below and check if the issue persists.

    1. Create the new folder, right click on it and select "properties".

    2. Click "customize".

    3. Under "optimize this folder for", select "general items" and also make sure to check the"also apply this template to all subfolder" option and save the changes.

    Let us know the result.
